I think the Dems will run away with the election, but hey, the independents COULD make a big difference. I also hear tell there are a LOT of indys just waiting for a sign of SOMETHING to believe in.
Despite all the media hype about monolithic voting blocks comprised of women, Asians, Latinos, Blacks, Gays, Trolls and The Three Billy Goat's Gruff--------------each vote is individual and every vote counts. I believe in the collective wisdom to prevail, but I AM challenged, in my belief, with the election of W by the Supreme Court.
Voters out here in the real world are NOT looking for a freak show----------we are looking for a leader.
As an Independent, Some thing to believe in isn't Barack Obama.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes we are looking for a leader, not someone to lead from behind.
Most liberals(the ones that don't call themselves progressives) consider themselves middle of the road Americans.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I have no idea why Carol thinks all of these independent voters are for Obama. What does Obama have to offer them.
Are you saving more in your 401K now than you were in 2008? Not me! Inflation has outpaced my salary increases, Food, Housing everything except laptops and tv's.
As 44% of the voters Carol ..and growing...you are right ..they will.....and all I have spoken with are most displeased with the current offering in the White House..
ReplyDeleteI'm writing in Gwen Stefani.
ReplyDeleteI am writing in you!..:-)
DeleteAwww, that's sweet Rojo, but I'd be a lousy Prez.
DeleteI'd make a much better Ambassador to Fiji. That's what RicFlair promised me if I wrote him in.
Right now I'm on the fence between Ric & Gwen.
Go with Ric and Fiji. Warm, sun, relaxed atmosphere. Maybe one of those umbrella drinks after 3.
DeleteWho could ask for anything more.
I am going with loumans thoughts....Fiji ..hands down....save me a spot on the beach!..:-)
DeleteWhere the hell is Ric anyway? He might have been a clone, but he was entertaining.
DeletePfunky - I'm too old to offer you anything really interesting, but if you can get enough write in votes to get me elected, I'll give you and your family the department of agriculture. You guys can be rich farmers like ADM.
I think Ric is Hal Abegg. I haven't seen him post.
DeleteAg sounds like too much responsibility. How 'bout Movie Coordinator?
You're on the fence between Ric and Gwen? Sounds salacious.
DeleteGod, I feel so embarrassed and ashamed for posting this. The devil made me do it. I'll blame him.
LOL...Jean...girra you be wicked...funny stuff...
DeleteLol ... Just own it, Jean ...
DeletePfunky - being the head of the DMC (department of Movie Coordination) would be really easy for me. My favorites are mostly in the simple (potty) humor genre: Dumb and Dumber, Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector, Idiocracy, and Office Space will pretty much round things out. If I'm ever feeling intellectual I will demand a Peter Sellers movie, but that wont happen too often.
DeleteI want, I mean, I want to write in Antonio
DeleteBanderes------------sigh
A LOT of people will need a consolation prize after this election--------------no matter WHICH way it goes!
ReplyDeleteConsolation prize? Shit, you better prepare for the worst either way. If Obama wins, look for a civil war to again safeguard States rights and individual liberties. If Romney wins, look for a race war so the minorities can keep their government goodies. Word to the minorities, you already have it pretty good, and we already played cowboys and Indians. How did that work out?
DeleteRomney won't cut any government goodies to the poor. ALL OF THIS MONEY goes right into the hands of the wealthy supporters of the political machine. Food stamps, section 8 housing, medicaid, and welfare are all spent at the retail level.
DeleteWe have already had the consolation prize for the last 12 years.
ReplyDeleteJust imagine this is the best the United States has to offer. A very sad thought.
Ahhh... but this is the land where everyone gets a trophy....
DeleteThanks to the Dept. of Education and the teachers unions where "everyone is equal" when it comes to results.
DeleteTrophy wives, and lots of them, and, and, and magic underpants for those unfit for marriage. Is there anyone who loses in my sexual gratification scheme? Oh, I almost forgot...trophy husbands for the ladies and the gays...
DeleteI am StormcouldBrewing and I approved this message.
But, but, but Stormy------------I don't know how that would work in the REAL world--------I mean, what does that make you? Are you an independant?
DeleteCarol - I'm only independent on rare occasions. I like sharing my trophy with others. I'm a really giving person.
